I vote for combining Q, V, X, & Z. I have exactly one song to nominate among these four letters. ---

Like I said, I have more than 9 Qs, and a like amount of Zs. Haven’t looked at V yet, but likely similar. X would be the only hard one. And I use way harder criteria than the rest of y’all. ---

I’ve got my 5 Q’s lined up, a few backup, and a couple that would pretty clearly be a waste of ballot space (and that’s saying something coming from me). V’s are plentiful. I might need to vote early on X’s (which I’ve looked at a little) and do some research on Z’s (my iTunes library is almost no help) to jog my memory on them. I voted for separate. ---

On the next letter thread, on further consideration I’ll suggest a Q/X/Z list and a separate one for V (which I have a lot of as well). We could probably get up to 50 on Q/X/Z with a bit of luck, and it’ll be a more interesting list. ---

I only have 4 V’s, two of which are going to be scooped if I don’t manage to post early. I suspect others are in the same boat. 😢 ---

Okay, on closer inspection I’ve got seven Vs, two of which I suspect will be the source of much bunfighting before I even get there. A couple others have turned out to be covers of older songs and thus don’t qualify. ---

Dang, I’m the only one who loves a thick chewy slice of Gelbart, huh? I don’t think of it as a poor reflection on you guys (and why would you care if I did?) I just thought it was so charming and pleasant in a conventional way. Shows what I know. Don’t make your financial musical bets on my tastes. 🤡 But I will die on the hill that declares that beat totally kicks! It don’t need any fills or breaks! ---

Played it for my 13-year-old son, who is taking drum lessons. 5/4 time, with a Clyde Stubblefield groove! (James Brown’s drummer). Sorry I didn’t hear it in time. Know that your efforts were not in vain. And couldn’t that band name itself after a less boring MASH actor? “Farr” would be cooler. 😉 ---
